Onr Indian RESERVATIONS.

The Indian reservations of the United
States contain 100000 square miles, and
their population is about 260, 900. Twenty
six thousand square miles would locate
each family upon half section of land,
leaving a surplus of about 10000 square
miles, which would produce annually
81, 4S0, 900. This amount exceeds by about
$500, 900 the entire sum appropriated for
the payment of their subsistence and civ
lization.-Chicago Herald.

A DOMESTIC IDYL.

After the baby came how changed the placel
The old man frightened with""a newer grace
The roses grew more thickly round the door,
And softer were the sunbeams on the floor,
Full sweeter was the song Of every bird
From that glad day his little voice was heard
Growing and cooling in such queer delight
But there was more walking done at night,
After the baby came.

A Tragedy Recalled by the Finding OF

From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Arusty pistol barrel, the relic of a dra-
matte and sanguinary episode which oc-
CURED in this State before it had passed
from under the dominion of the Mexicans,
can nov be seen in one of the glass cases in
the museum of the State Mining Bureau.
The tale which is associated with il is one
of hotsblooded love, passion and jealousy
narrative such as a novelist might found
dozen stirring chapters upon.
The remnant of the weapon, which would
have been as little thought Of as any old re-
volver in pawnbroker's shop, had it rot
been for the last thrilling combat in which
it figured, was recently found by a little son
of j. A. Manters, while playing in the tim
Der of the northern part of the town of
Gridley, Butte county. 1t had apparently
lain there for many years. The earth had
covered it, and its once glittering surface
was lack and dingy with age. The barrel
is inches in length, and is thicker than that
of a Winchester rifle
The boy was, of course, unaware of the
value OF the old piece of metal, but parties
who looked at it found that the tube was all
right, and that with new stock tho
weapon would be ready for use again. Ii
was consequently preserved, and, being sub
jected to further examination, a small gold
plate was found by the side of the nipple.

had been somewhat worn away, but by the

Lockyer's New Theory.

The scientific world is startled by what
seems nothing less than a new theory of the
constitution of the universe. This comes
before the public with all the sanction de-
rived from paper read before the Royal
Society, and with all the authority attached
omer. Norman Lockyer. The new theory,
he declares, is the result not Of speculation,
bat of spectroscopic research. 1t is summed
up in the statement that all the self lumi-
nous bodies n the celestial spaces are COM
posed of meteorites or masses of meteoric
vapor, produced by heat brought about by
the condensation Of meteor swarrns due to
gravity. This hypothesis, If accepted, may,
as one eulogist remarks, weld all previous
present Il is received by men of science I'M
